For a Limited Time Only: These iOS and Android Apps are Currently Free
In the sandwich between Christmas and New Year's Eve, we have a few late Christmas presents for you. Of course, these are once again the obligatory apps and games that are actually paid for but are currently being released for free. As usual, you will find suggestions for both Android and iOS in the list.
We have three app listicles for you every week: Firstly, the top 5 apps of the week, with carefully curated apps and mobile games that we think are good. And then we have two lists in which we don't really thoroughly check what the apps are good for but mainly pay attention to the fact that you can get these apps, which are actually paid for, for free.
The second category is the one we're dealing with here in this article, so please take a close look for yourself to see if there are any annoying ads or if someone wants to take money out of your pocket with in-app purchases.
And while we're on the subject of good advice: Download the game or application that you think is exciting, even if there is no current need for it. You can remove the app from your phone immediately after downloading it - the paid version will remain in your app library and can be reinstalled at any time.
